Pros

-The benefits are amazing - Great health & dental plans with no premiums, absolutely any education you want for free, and even with the pension gone for non-union, it' still 3% automatic 401K contribution + Up to 6% worth of matching, so total of 9% of salary! (11% if you're nearing retirement) -For me I'm a sucker for making cool product, so being able to say I buy stuff that goes in airplanes, and go wander into the factory whenever I want is cool

Cons

-The 787 delays screws everyone up, cuts everyones budgets, and for PAs, make contracting more stressful -Constant reorganization creates a lot of confusion as to what people's roles are, leading people to start big turf wars over their newly laid turf.

Pros

Free education classes. On the job Computer software classes, College , food in meetings. You can work on your degree while you are working. Work can be easy as you want. Tullys Coffee Good experience There are Processes defined (yes a few do work!)

Cons

Good boy network. Not much work per employee. Lazy people "Make work" is indirectly encouraged. You don't have to work if you don't want to. Preselected people for promotions based on age. Look at years of experience vs persons capability Longtime managers are bitter toward younger people - people under 32. Managers think they are gift from god. They just cut the free education with no exceptions Do not pass on knowledge to new employees Processes do not work and the process author does not understand the final goal. More focused on Top Down management Too many layers of managers They don't care if a very good employee leaves

Pros

- Great health care - Moderate to Good pay - Good educational benefits...they used to have great educational benefits but made major cuts with the economic downturn. You'll owe several years to the company for any educational benefits. - Good relocation benefits - Verify flexible schedules - Fellow employees are generally friendly

Cons

- Innovation not highly encouraged - Get stuck on outdated, multiyear projects and lose all your technical skills; - Retiree heavy; older employees run the company and are set in their ways; not friendly to change - Hard to get promoted; promotions based on years of experience rather than know-how & performance; generally have to move to get a promotion - Lots of accounting and oversight; very - Outdated systems - Little in the way of leadership from managers; they mostly count beans and heckle you whenever they get heckled by their bosses - Performance feedback seems greatly lacking; solid performance not encouraged or rewarded - May get loaned out to other projects for long periods of time
